I can't believe her friends left her that night. They should've stayed with her and took her home themselves. Never go drinking with people who would leave you in a vulnerable state.
Omg…..poor lass. I wondered what happened to her, she just vanished off the scene. How horrific is this. Hope you’re feeling free now Duffy. Voice of an angel 💖
I believe her. People have no idea how easy it is for people to target women for trafficking. It was probably someone from her record company or inner circle in the industry who got paid a lot of money to make this happen. The entertainment industry is demonic, and owns artists past, present and future and the money is endless. Interestingly the recording company never came out to either support or sue her or say another word about this woman. Complete silence. If it was any other police department except the Metropolitan Police Department (they can’t even keep S. Offenders off the force) this case would be solved. The woman’s management company or someone in her sphere likely got paid well. Just a theory but it’s probably an inside job. Glad she survived.
I'm wondering why police failed to track their movements from airport records and possibly other modes of transport. If her captor had her passport she would have been registered under her own name, even if he had a fake passport. I didn't read about the crime when she made it public so I don't know any details aside from this documentary.
And that’s why some never share their stories- no one believes them. You really don’t know what decisions you would make in her situation when you are traumatized and scared😢
And she spent 4 weeks getting raped by him and no DNA. The perp wasn't caught. I think a voluntary relationship with someone at her Birthday Party and they agreed not to tell anyone. One of my Girlfriends cheated, and she said she was raped, but she didn't want to go to Police. And many girls have used this excuse. She knew who the guy was, a friend of her Bestie, but she refused to tell me who he was. It's not right, or normal behaviour. How is the message to serial Rapists that they can't do it getting across when Victims refuse care and refuse to prosecute? Yet we the Partner or Family of the victim suffer a lifetime of scarring. It doesn't make sense to me why the Victim would protect the Perp. If she just fuckin' cheated, she should just say she cheated and not have everyone feeling sympathetic towards her the rest of her life while giggling with her Bestie( who was easy as buying a newspaper). She'd have been better not saying instead of coming out with a lie. To come back to Duffy, I think it's very strange no one saw who she left the Party with and who she went home with and that she didn't tell anyone that she didn't feel well. Women think we button up the back of our heads and will believe anything, our heads are full of proved facts and tested sciences, the minute something doesn't ring true , we're on heightened alert. At the end of the day , if they're not telling us the truth, I don't care, I'm not listening and I'm not playing their stupid game. Do you go to Uni for 4 years just to act stupid or be stupid? And there's more attrocities out there that the Police are ignoring coz the Victims won't say it's happening without their consent.
My poor Duffy. I hope she heals and if she is ever up to it I hope she starts singing again. She is immensely talented and so sweet. She replied to me once on Instagram, giving me a compliment on something I was working on, and it made my day. I’ll never forget it. Be safe Duffy. 💙
Hmmmm… you seem to be quite star struck. I worked with her after her second album had flopped. She didn’t seem to be all that kind at all to be honest. She acted quite the princess and wouldn’t even acknowledge people that weren’t important to her in the room. I call bs on that whole story personally. Pure sexual / domination fiction. 50 Shades Of Grey comes to mind…
I remember you Duffy! Through out the years i often wondered,where are you? I love your voice and i hope someday you have the strength to sing again! I am so sorry for what has happened to you!
@@anonymiss495wow the victim blaming is strong with this one. You are the reason victims are too ashamed to come forward and report what happened to them. False reports of SA and rape are incredibly rare like 1% and filing a false report is against the law and people go to jail for that. If Duffy had made that up the police would have arrested her. Clearly the police believe what she's saying. I bet u believed the movie movie sounds of freedom ( which was nonsense and not how trafficking works. Also some of the directors and actors in that movie themselves are child traffickers) yet u don't believe a real victim. This is exactly why sounds of freedom makes me upset.
I dont comprehed how the police could not find the kidnapper! Because he board a flight with Duffy which means there are enough evidences out there. Really freaky story.
@@pacotaco5526 False reports are not incredibly rare you pulled that number from some propaganda material while trying to shoehorn in your own rant about people believing in some other propaganda for no reason. Police would not arrest her since she didn't accuse anyone that could be found and proven to be not guilty and frivolous police reports of this kind are being swept under the rug in order to appease people like you.
Read her Wiki page. She had thought of becoming a recluse before she disappeared because she had a problem with fame, and then she disappeared. What a coincidence.
OMG! I always wondered what happened to her. I remember buying her CD with Warwick Avenue and Mercy on it. Of course, they’re on my playlist now. What an horrific ordeal for her. I find it hard to believe nobody rang or visited her. When someone that famous goes missing surely someone would think something is off when they haven’t spoken to her in all that time. I’m not famous and my family and friends would be worried after one day. My heart really goes out to her. Duffy has such a unique voice and talent. It’s sad that she has lost her love of music on top of everything else. She’s extremely brave for speaking out. ❤
She could have saved his DNA. If this incident were true and this man stayed there in her apartment for 4 weeks then there would have been DNA evidence every where.
Sounds like she new him and got mixed up with a deviant. The police aren't going to just drop an investigation into a crime of this nature. Reading between the lines, she was hoodwinked, used and abused by some rich Arab, then dropped off when he'd finished with her.
Seems almost impossible to believe that police could not track her movements through immigration. Her movements in to and out of a foreign country would be a matter of record, especially in these times.
Private jet? I had read -years ago now-about it being a Dubai type thing, where very wealthy men + women trade dignity for sex work for ludicrous fees. Think Katie price poo on tummy -type thing. But not that Duffy was there voluntarily-but was used as one. Though it sounds like poss a domination kink that perhaps a wealthy person paid for to inflict on her. There was a story about one-who got off with R*pe -by actually saying he tripped and his penis went into the woman he fell on -and a judge accepted it!!! The amount of money, power and lack of oversight on the activities of the rich-means it is entirely possible.
I don’t want to call her a liar, but there is so much of the story that does not add up. How was she not-seen or photographed? Going to the airport or coming back? And why did she stay in the house after she got away from him, why would she stay in that house he could’ve came back that night and her neighbour seen her. Why did she not sell that story to the papers? If he had her phone for a month texting people that would not have worked for one month, you would get away with that for no longer than two weeks. People would be suspicious that knew her. Why’s there’s no phone calls are voice notes it’s very fishy
He said in the video that the kidnapper was responding to texts so they unfortunately had no idea she was in danger. She was a huge star so they were also probably used to her being on the road for long periods
Love Duffy and said with respect, but for a big star as she was then, it’s hard to believe any of it, it sounds like she just cracked up and had a mental breakdown!
Isn't this around the same time that model was "kidnapped" Chloe ayling,only she wasn't,she threw the men she planned it with under the bus and they went to prison but there was way too much suspicious stuff with her story and lo and behold she got the fame she craved afterwards
@@intuitiveeevee I watched, Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story, too. I believe Chloe. If you check records, evidence is in Chloe's favour. You wouldn't really know how you'd react til you were Really in that sort of danger, all heresay til then.
Chloe Ayling was telling the truth; Duffy was not. The above comment is correct that she had mental issues, and that is why the police haven’t wasted further time on her story.
I agree with you. I think I remember her. did she have a song with the lyric "...feel the rain on your skin..." and something about "this is not my happy ending." I don't believe this story. but I wouldn't be surprised if SHE believes it. she was about the age for the onset of severe mental illnesses Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia. developing one of those terrible illnesses is a REAL horror story! always tragic.
@@katherine9109 I believe you’re referring to Natasha Bedingdield’s lyrics, but I could be mistaken. In any case it is absolutely possible that Duffy has bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. I met her in passing approximately 10 years ago - too briefly to say that I know her. In that moment, her behaviour was quite inappropriate for that particular setting and situation…to the point it was uncomfortable for the other people in the room. I never forgot the looks on their faces. Schizophrenia is a horrible disease to live with- for both the patient and loved ones. That would be terribly sad. I hadn’t even considered Schizophrenia until I saw your comment- you’re certainly right about the age bracket, too.
Thank you Joshua for shedding some light on what happened to this very talented and beautiful young lady, sometimes wondered what happened to her she was so popular before this horrendous incident. I hope she makes a full recovery.
No fans on the plane wanting autographs or even selfies, imagine the risk of capture the kidnapper was under , not the best thought through kidnap plan. So he’d booked the flights and had miraculously obtained Duffy’s passport details in advance as you can’t just rock up and get on a flight.
To meany holes in the story, you are speaking about a well non person, if she had disappeared for more than 1 day police would of been called in you can not kidnap a star like that for 4 or 5 weeks and nothing happened no missing reports it's just unbelievable.
Nah it’s typical trafficking. I’ll bet they had intended either ransom or kidnapped her for trafficking and didn’t realise she was in the spotlight until she was abroad. So they took her back. I can see how all of this could happen.
@@jennid1573Trafficking is typically for the purpose of prostitution. It makes sense to take someone away to another country because they are isolated from family and familiar surroundings and if a trafficker keeps their passport they can't leave. Taking someone to a different country just to grape them and then bring them back again just makes no sense at all. Why would they do that? Unless it is not actually a crime in that country or if they can't be prosecuted in the UK for a crime committed abroad. But I don't think that would be the case, would it? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he can't be prosecuted here for a grape committed in another country. Could it be that this was the real reason? The whole thing sounds very odd.
because he could. people like this love risk and the love the superiority of fooling everyone and getting away with it. She would not have looked anything like her photos or music clips. He could have obscured her hair and face at the airport and on the plane. This is all part of it for evil monsters that love to mess with others realities. It's the ultimate power trip.
I discovered this hidden talent women from Stone Ocean credit song and absolutely fall in love with her beautiful voice and her albums but after discovering tragedy of her made me so heart broken No one deserves this !
Thank you so much for sharing this story? The madness of this situation is so unbelievable & tragic 👿 This monster, must be brought to justice? I'm horrified by what some men, do to women?
It sounds like he is a puppet master. I heard stories like that it’s so sad what happens to their victims. I am so glad she found strength and got out of it and trying to live and be happy. Keep going strong Duffy! X
Why has the restaurant never been named? What kind of friends would let a stranger take her from a restaurant without going with her to make sure she got home safely. Especially if she was showing signs of being drugged. London is awash with CCTV cameras inside and outside of restaurants, clubs and other venues. Is she on camera being put into a car? Why haven't any of her friends come forward to say what they witnessed? Why was there no police investigation? How was she rescued? Did she escape to a British consulate in some foreign country? How did she know where it was? Is there a record of her phone calls? Who did she turn to when she returned home? Where is the record of her passport being presented at customs? And why was she so silent for so long? If it's true, I'm guessing the kidnapper was a person of some means to be able to fly here into several different countries and get through customs with a drugged pop star in tow.
you obviously didn't listen to any of the information in this story but you wrote down all these questions you have. Go and find a couple of other sources.
Fuck! This is a really dark story! This isn't just "someone slipped something in my drink and took advantage of me THAT night". No! This is much more sinister and brutal. Just considering the planning and precise knowledge of the "target" that such an act requires.
Have 3 drinks inthe airport and they wont let you on the plane. Carry a drugged up girl thats completely out of it to the gate and they will get you a pillow for your incapasitated travel companion and help you board? Aye, alright then 🙄
its a really terrible thing that happened to duffy sexual violence is a really horrible crime the deep impact it has on people is devastating i know i been through this myself you never really get over it as such. my deepest support and love goes to you
If there is any truth to this (which I doubt) I think she definitely knows who it was,and it’s someone powerful in the music industry whom she can’t or won’t name for reasons unknown. There’s more to this that she’s not saying for sure but this is the story she’s putting out. The ‘ kidnapper’ had to be someone she was acquainted with.
Pure fiction. As if no one would recognise her and there are security cameras all over airports to identify her assailant...quite apart from an airline ticket, seating plan, ticket purchase information. This is beyond ridiculous.
It's important to remember that we don't know what investigations have unearthed, namely the country she was taken to. It is an ongoing investigation and maybe the police and/or Duffy don't want to reveal the information. It also shows that the whole event took place over about a month and just because she is Famous, doesn't mean Duffy has close friends or family. Maybe she even spoke to people whilst drugged in her flat, she may not remember. The fact that someone she knew so her on her balcony, yellow and wrapped in a blanket yet raised no alarm shows the poor woman had no one close enough to care. The fact that this is happening to a lot of non famous women is terrifying. They rely on the disconnect in society, especially in cities like London, to cover up such terrible crimes.
If this happened its truly horrendous. I just cant help but struggle to believe it. The absolute moment my feet hit terra firma in the uk, his ass wouldve felt my wrath. To be held captive, drugged and raped in a foreign country, believing id be dead and never make it home? Nothing would've stipped me from seizing that moment to free myself. A lot is missing. It woukd be interesting to hear what the police investigation actually uncovered
My ex worked with her uncle and he said she refused to go on chat shows to promote her albums which affected sakes. Surely she would need a passport and someone would recognise her.
I don’t think I believe her story. Police found zero evidence on the airport . She is not on the cameras at all.Nobody saw her because it never happened.
We need to hear from the people that were with her that night she was allegedly drugged and abducted by this "stranger " because how did this person get her home in the incapacitated state she was in whilst she was in their company ?. Not to mention to the airport, abroad to an unknown country then incredibly back to the Uk and to her own flat only to continue the hostage situation in front of neighbours and the risk of being caught by friends and colleagues not to mention her Rugby playing boyfriend at the time ? No wonder she didnt want to involve the Police ,not out of fear but because they know a swiss cheese of a story when they see it and i speak as a fan of Duffy of many years but i remember reading her old Manager washed his hands of her before this even happened because of things she was getting involved in ....my theory is she is covering for the person that did it and knows exactly who they are ,she possibly had a breakdown caused or aggravated by hallucinogenic drugs and may genuinely not know what happened to her during that time or she was a junkie all this time . But the story as she has presented it i just dont believe 😢
I remember her telling her story so I was just researching to see what came of her reporting it, really leaves me with more questions than answers. I just can't fathom why nothing has been openly investigated. The perpetrator sounds so dangerous. Why is no one looking for him. I feel so sorry for her and her loved ones who must have been heartbrokenthat she could go through that without anyone realising. I hope tome brings healing for all involved.
If it was an abusive ex and she wont press charges that could explain it. Women in DV situations usually go thru 40 serious incidents before even reporting it.
There's only one answer to that- it didn't happen. She lives in London which has so many CCTV cameras, something would have been captured somewhere. And the police can still charge a person even if she didn't want to because it's in the public interest to, which this perpetrator surely would fall into the category being such a threat to women.
I believed when say told her story that she had been held and raped by some one she may have known. This story however is full of holes. I think something horrible did happen, but that it was either a complete mental breakdown or drugs that key to a psychotic break. Either way she was a great artist and I wish her well for the future❤
My heart is breaking for her but Duffy is strong women thank you for sharing your story it really help people that have experience the same thank you for giving us voice ❤️ xx.
If these are true events and this did indeed happen to her, it's horrendous to even contemplate it. But there is far too much of this story that makes very little sense at all. He spikes her at the restaurant, and yet she's able to return home to her flat "incapacitated" without those she was with that night realizing she was incapacitated? How did he get access to her flat once she was inside - he broke in? He then takes her to an airport where he has, we assume, that night made reservations, while she is so incapacitated she is unable to comprehend what's happening or to alert others, and yet she is allowed to board the flight in that state in the sight of airport officials, stewards, security? And then throughout the flight to another country, arriving at a foreign airport, going through passport control and customs, all while apparently still far too incapacitated to again alert somebody or even know what country she's in, nobody at that airport notices the state she's in, and that she's, and again we must assume, being forcibly led somewhere? We can understand her being too frightened to alert people while he had her locked in a hotel room, but again when after returning her to a foreign airport with security and help all around her should she simply scream "Help!", this globally recognizable celebrity doesn't alert anybody to her plight? And he then inexplicably flies her back to the UK, and even more insanely, to her own flat where her alleged kidnapper now risks being caught any moment by friends, colleagues, family etc? And for a month? And after finally escaping "into the night" following a month-long ordeal of rape and imprisonment, she then returns to the flat where her kidnapper is, and the next thing she remembers is sitting on her balcony? And she decides at that point to again not alert the authorities, or family, or friends? I'm sorry, but as I said if this did indeed happen to her, it's truly horrendous, but it sounds much more plausible that she suffered some form of psychological collapse/breakdown, drug-induced psychosis, or for some reason has fabricated the entire story. Where's the CCTV footage from the airport/airports? If he had her phone and accompanied her at all times, her movements could easily be traced from her phone, yes? Where is the police investigation? No. Sorry, with all due respect to anybody who has been been through a terrifying ordeal such as this, none of her story makes sense. Fascinating certainly, and horrible if it were true, but nothing adds up here.
@@SuperSized16 Yeah that's true. If it really happened, it's absolutely tragic. And if it didn't and she has made this up for some reason that nobody can understand, it shows that she's seriously mentally ill which is just as tragic really. As to why would she make it up, why do people who don't have cancer pretend to family and friends they do? Why do people who have not been raped say they have been? Happens all the time. Who knows, right?
There's a current case of a Frenchwoman who was heavily drugged and assaulted two hundred times by seventy two males and she did not have any memory of it. The police showed her the videos of abuse after her husband of many years was caught upskirting. She thought she was going slowly mad, but doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her sanity. Other weird pointers like waking up with an unexpected haircut and no memory of it and other medical problems associated with the assaults occurred and made her think she was going mad. As for Duffy, her friends may also have been stoned not to have noticed her state. Or someone was complicit in it and received some payment for it. Her house or apartment locks may not have been security grade and therefore easy to break into, and the plane may have been a small private charter plane departing from a private airfield. Whoever did it had the know how and possibly financial resources. Maybe some rich middle eastern person or a slave trafficker. There are books written on the intimidation of women who have been lured into relationships with sex traffickers. One particular case was of a young English girl, who wrote about her experiences while coerced and trafficked, and she wrote under another name. Her trafficker was a known criminal and the police assured her that he was out of the country, while he was actually in England stalking her for retribution for having escaped him. It was written by Sophie Hayes. Well worth reading. In Duffy's case if he resides elsewhere, it will be very unlikely he will be caught.
So she went for a meal with her friends, somehow wasn't affected by the drugs until after she got home when a random stranger managed to break into her flat and abducted her and transported her not only to an airport without anyone or any cctv seeing this but also went through the security and passport checks whilst unconscious. Then none of her friends or family noticed her missing during this abduction nor reported her absence to police? And then it happened again? Sorry it sounds completely unbelievable.
I was thinking about her only a few days ago, then this video appears in my feed telling me what happened. Poor woman, what an horrendous experience to be forced to live through. The scary thing is that the total coward that did this is still at large and could so easily repeat what he did with countless other women. Maybe he already has, who knows?
It makes it so angry !! How dare someone do this to another person and nobody even blinked an eye, Someone must have noticed her at the airport or on the flights. I'm so so sorry this happened to you, sounds like you were let let down by everyone. Sending you much love💜💜
I have never heard this. I loved ❤Duffy’s music. I recall her coming on scene, such a unique retro look and sound. I thought of her and Adele coming out about same time and Adele’s career took off (for understandable reasons) but I always wondered about Duffy. This story is horrific. I think it’s difficult for many of us to understand how certain drugs work and how people can be fully out of it but walk, somehow not draw attention (particularly if they simply seem drunk). It does seem there would be follow up contact with her birthday friends. This is tragic. Thanks for presenting the story with respect.
I pray she can really move on and find happiness! Her music is amazing and beautiful. The world is a better place for her and I truly hope she can sing again. Maybe it can help her heal some! All my love Duffy
My best friend and I wrote a song for her to consider back in 2011... this was after the event but before she disappeared from the industry. We tried approaching her management but were stonewalled. Took a few years for us to suss out why....
Sorry way to many holes in that story way to random. I don't mean to be cruel but it sounds like drugs talk. was kidnapped by a faceless stranger put on a random plane to a nameless country all the while being famous. Then brought back to your own country . Im afraid it makes no sense at all . To many people would of noticed her record company would be very interested where it's employee is
But what would she have to gain by making this up? I do think the story sounds wild but it’s not impossible either. With access to her phone he could have delayed people’s suspicions and maybe when she was out of it from being spiked he could have changed her clothing to make her blend in with a hat covering her hair or something. I know, it all sounds bizarre and there are many questions but it’s definitely possible something like this could have happened. I mean, she had fame, success and attention all round, so it doesn’t make sense to me that she would lie about this. I definitely think we’re not getting the full story but I would take what she said seriously. Imagine having that happen to you, and then the trauma of no one believing you. I’d love to see her give a personal interview, but something definitely went very wrong for her. I hope she’s ok. 🕊️
@talk2birds128 that's a myth that all addicts look awful. Many function for years and look perfectly normal as long as they are drunk, stoned,or high. But eventually the mind will snap
Right from the restaurant onwards the whole story sounds like baloney to me . If she had been spiked surely her friends would of taken care of her overnight to make sure she was ok . . . This is Fantasy Island ! . . . 😊
And how would the kidnapper know where her flat was in order to get her when she was unconscious? Unless it was her inner circle and, if so, she would know exactly who it was. The story is kind of unbelievable, to be honest. Why risk taking her to an airport twice to do something heinous, when he was doing those things at her flat, too?
I worked in Barnes in London as a personal trainer where Duffy lived so I saw her often .I had heard she had been kidnapped and was shocked.Locally people knew about it at the time.
So one of the most popular artist at the time. Traveled by plane without someone recognise her? all the security cameras on the airport?. That's very unlikely, She probably just thought she was on a plane because all the drugs. Where were her family and friends???!!!!
Yes, Poor Duffy, She could gone though a Hallucination dream Scope and actually never left the country. On the Alleged rape and drugs inflicted, Her Statement is that she never went to seek law inforcment hospital treatment..
This is speculation, guess work, assumption and presumption. And this fella seems to forget one important fact. Duffy was an internationally known, famous pop star. Somebody would have recognized her as she passed through airports. Not least the police who guard them. If they had seen her drugged out of her mind being manhandled through airport lounges, I'm sure one would have said something.
How the hell did a world famous singer get taken on a plane in a semi unconscious state and no one seemed to raise the alarm? If an ordinary semi unconscious woman was taken on a plane today, I hope to God people would raise the alarm. And demanding she walk behind him when she was in the foreign country? I wonder what culture this is a common practice? And how the hell has this rapist got away with it? And he's still out there ?
I remember something about this on the local BBC Welsh news and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Duffy comes from Bangor not too far away from where I'm from too and I always wondered why she vanished from the face of the Earth. Poor girl what a horrible thing to have to go through. Something doesn't seem quite right though...
Sadly, the music industry is a dark place. A band that was famous and talented the lead singer had his drink spiked. He was in ICU and needed a liver transplant and was placed on the transplant list. After a week he started to recover. But the band never gained their former fame. There are weird people who if you don’t do what they want …you’ll pay. I believe this person could be linked to the music industry. I hope Duffy is well and enjoying her life. God bless her x
Honestly it worries me seeing quite so many comments questioning her experience and implying a fabrication on her part. Obviously we are all entitled to opinions, but with something like this…I do think default stance really should be believing her. Of course questions can be asked about specifics, but it’s a dangerous game to immediately assume she is lying. There is enough evidence of men abusing women from the shadows and even in the open pretty damn consistently - for murder, power, sexual gratification etc - Wayne Cozens and so on) to provide ample evidence of awful shit happening. Brazen or secretive. And those are just the ones who are caught and reported…it’s horrific.
thanks Duffy for speaking out i to was raped at the age of 19 at knife point by family friend i really feel for you women children men need to speak out and support
So damm sad, the poor girl will unfortunately never feel safe again, all the best to you Duffy, we all admire your courage. Lots of love for the future.
Only answer to police incompetence is "political", so... A "prince"? An illegal refugee? Or some other protected moron? Let's hope she is well, safe and ready to fight back. This story is about brutal injustice against a lovely person with no malice in her heart.
People doubting her story is typical for this day and age; and a good explanation for why she didn't come forward with it right away. If people only knew what vile things are happening to women, children (and men) on a daily basis, right before our eyes without us realizing, they'd believe her. People are being trafficked and abused all the time. We shouldn't let our social-media infested brains judge something that happens to too many people, with too few - or zero - consequences for the perpetrator. I wish her all the best and that her life, from now on, is led by healing. She has an amazing talent. Not just for music, but for survival. 💗
This story is bizzare. She disappeared one day and everyone just got on with their life and didnt raise the alert??
😂
I can't believe her friends left her that night. They should've stayed with her and took her home themselves.
Never go drinking with people who would leave you in a vulnerable state.
And why didn't her family or anyone report her as missing. All very odd
it's crazy.
@@fifi4502not everyone has people who genuinely care..
i miss her, and the world needs a new album with her amazing and talented voice.
She is amazingly talented.
She is one of the most skilled vocalists I've ever heard.
Such a talent, I hope she recovers and can make music again
She has a stunning voice - such a talent
Omg…..poor lass. I wondered what happened to her, she just vanished off the scene. How horrific is this. Hope you’re feeling free now Duffy. Voice of an angel 💖
Do you actually believe this crock of 💩
I believe her. People have no idea how easy it is for people to target women for trafficking. It was probably someone from her record company or inner circle in the industry who got paid a lot of money to make this happen. The entertainment industry is demonic, and owns artists past, present and future and the money is endless. Interestingly the recording company never came out to either support or sue her or say another word about this woman. Complete silence.

Heartbreaking. God bless Duffy ❤
I'm wondering why police failed to track their movements from airport records and possibly other modes of transport. If her captor had her passport she would have been registered under her own name, even if he had a fake passport. I didn't read about the crime when she made it public so I don't know any details aside from this documentary.
I wondered the same... also the amount of CCTV and biometric scanning at airports.
Private Jet. Could be powerful people, maybe even from the entertainment industry trafficking her…
She didn't tell the police till many years later, the cctv would of been erased by then I suppose.
@@kittykookyvery true
@@vortex6574 He said it was a commercial flight. Do you listen at all?
And that’s why some never share their stories- no one believes them. You really don’t know what decisions you would make in her situation when you are traumatized and scared😢
This story doesn’t seem to make any sense, I think a mental breakdown is more possible.
And she spent 4 weeks getting raped by him and no DNA. The perp wasn't caught. I think a voluntary relationship with someone at her Birthday Party and they agreed not to tell anyone.
One of my Girlfriends cheated, and she said she was raped, but she didn't want to go to Police. And many girls have used this excuse. She knew who the guy was, a friend of her Bestie, but she refused to tell me who he was. It's not right, or normal behaviour. How is the message to serial Rapists that they can't do it getting across when Victims refuse care and refuse to prosecute? Yet we the Partner or Family of the victim suffer a lifetime of scarring. It doesn't make sense to me why the Victim would protect the Perp. If she just fuckin' cheated, she should just say she cheated and not have everyone feeling sympathetic towards her the rest of her life while giggling with her Bestie( who was easy as buying a newspaper). She'd have been better not saying instead of coming out with a lie.
To come back to Duffy, I think it's very strange no one saw who she left the Party with and who she went home with and that she didn't tell anyone that she didn't feel well. Women think we button up the back of our heads and will believe anything, our heads are full of proved facts and tested sciences, the minute something doesn't ring true , we're on heightened alert. At the end of the day , if they're not telling us the truth, I don't care, I'm not listening and I'm not playing their stupid game.
Do you go to Uni for 4 years just to act stupid or be stupid? And there's more attrocities out there that the Police are ignoring coz the Victims won't say it's happening without their consent.
My poor Duffy. I hope she heals and if she is ever up to it I hope she starts singing again. She is immensely talented and so sweet. She replied to me once on Instagram, giving me a compliment on something I was working on, and it made my day. I’ll never forget it. Be safe Duffy. 💙
Hmmmm… you seem to be quite star struck. I worked with her after her second album had flopped. She didn’t seem to be all that kind at all to be honest. She acted quite the princess and wouldn’t even acknowledge people that weren’t important to her in the room. I call bs on that whole story personally. Pure sexual / domination fiction. 50 Shades Of Grey comes to mind…
Absolutely 💯
❤ me also
I wish she convert to islam and leave music ..
I wish she convert to islam and leave music world...
I remember you Duffy! Through out the years i often wondered,where are you? I love your voice and i hope someday you have the strength to sing again! I am so sorry for what has happened to you!
Duffy was the Adele before Adele
I think if this hadn't of happened, she would have been bigger than adele
Amy whinehouse mixed w Adele love her music ❤️
Adele first album - January 2008. Duffy first album - March 2008.... so yeah, not really
@@Bnswll who asked you Karen …. No one knew who tf Adele was when Duffy was massive so don’t even
She started around the same time as Adele actually. I imagine if not for the trauma she went through Duffy could have been a worthy opponent to Adele.
I never knew this had happened to her - poor girl. What a pity the kidnapper could not be found.
What’s sad is that he has probably kidnapped and abused 100s more pppl since this
Perhaps because it didn't happen as she remembers it or is covering for the Perpetrator 😔
@@anonymiss495wow the victim blaming is strong with this one. You are the reason victims are too ashamed to come forward and report what happened to them. False reports of SA and rape are incredibly rare like 1% and filing a false report is against the law and people go to jail for that. If Duffy had made that up the police would have arrested her. Clearly the police believe what she's saying. I bet u believed the movie movie sounds of freedom ( which was nonsense and not how trafficking works. Also some of the directors and actors in that movie themselves are child traffickers) yet u don't believe a real victim. This is exactly why sounds of freedom makes me upset.
I dont comprehed how the police could not find the kidnapper! Because he board a flight with Duffy which means there are enough evidences out there. Really freaky story.
@@pacotaco5526 False reports are not incredibly rare you pulled that number from some propaganda material while trying to shoehorn in your own rant about people believing in some other propaganda for no reason. Police would not arrest her since she didn't accuse anyone that could be found and proven to be not guilty and frivolous police reports of this kind are being swept under the rug in order to appease people like you.
Read her Wiki page. She had thought of becoming a recluse before she disappeared because she had a problem with fame, and then she disappeared. What a coincidence.
Really, did she control the media as well? No stories of where she went? She was as big if not bigger than her arch rival Adele( all Adele) .
@@nifflofair6685 She did'nt talk about it till years later.
She wrote a dud album that her label refused to release
Why did he take her to another country? That seems like a lot of extra unnecessary steps to take
Was absolutely wondering the same thing
She was trafficked.
So the story would be more interesting.
OMG! I always wondered what happened to her. I remember buying her CD with Warwick Avenue and Mercy on it. Of course, they’re on my playlist now.
What an horrific ordeal for her. I find it hard to believe nobody rang or visited her. When someone that famous goes missing surely someone would think something is off when they haven’t spoken to her in all that time. I’m not famous and my family and friends would be worried after one day. My heart really goes out to her. Duffy has such a unique voice and talent. It’s sad that she has lost her love of music on top of everything else. She’s extremely brave for speaking out. ❤
I find this story hard to believe, What she didn't confide in a friend at the time,, and there's no description of the man involved. All very vague.
She could have saved his DNA. If this incident were true and this man stayed there in her apartment for 4 weeks then there would have been DNA evidence every where.
From what I read, Duffy said the perp is
Extremely powerful. God bless her 🙏🏽❤️
But powerful people are exposed all the time tho for predatory crimes -why not this one ? . Something very odd about this story sadly 😔
Sounds like she new him and got mixed up with a deviant. The police aren't going to just drop an investigation into a crime of this nature. Reading between the lines, she was hoodwinked, used and abused by some rich Arab, then dropped off when he'd finished with her.
Not always..sometimes more powerful ones are exposed more than lesser ones...
Probably a music exec or a punk rock musician turned philanthropist. Those are my two guesses.
Seems almost impossible to believe that police could not track her movements through immigration. Her movements in to and out of a foreign country would be a matter of record, especially in these times.
I agree completely, there are more questions than answers in this case
Private jet? I had read -years ago now-about it being a Dubai type thing, where very wealthy men + women trade dignity for sex work for ludicrous fees. Think Katie price poo on tummy -type thing. But not that Duffy was there voluntarily-but was used as one. Though it sounds like poss a domination kink that perhaps a wealthy person paid for to inflict on her. There was a story about one-who got off with R*pe -by actually saying he tripped and his penis went into the woman he fell on -and a judge accepted it!!! The amount of money, power and lack of oversight on the activities of the rich-means it is entirely possible.
Not with another girls passport?
Plus CCTV .
It just doesn’t add up. Something is very off with this story.
I don’t want to call her a liar, but there is so much of the story that does not add up. How was she not-seen or photographed? Going to the airport or coming back? And why did she stay in the house after she got away from him, why would she stay in that house he could’ve came back that night and her neighbour seen her. Why did she not sell that story to the papers? If he had her phone for a month texting people that would not have worked for one month, you would get away with that for no longer than two weeks. People would be suspicious that knew her. Why’s there’s no phone calls are voice notes it’s very fishy
They could have also tracked her phone by the places the guy was texting from.
She would have raised the alarm in the middle of the airport or on the plane. Surely.
She'd have been on tour a lot so family etc would be used to her not checking in that regularly.
@@sarahholland2600 why wont the split arse name people then? Get the sand out your vag and look at facts
@@sarahholland2600 yeah no friends or managers. Let me guess... you have no job due to anxiety and depression?
Where were her family and friends???!!!!
This is what I don’t understand, FOUR WEEKS she was gone
Agree
I completely agree
He said in the video that the kidnapper was responding to texts so they unfortunately had no idea she was in danger. She was a huge star so they were also probably used to her being on the road for long periods
She said some where she isn’t local so they didn’t really help her recovery and it’s strained her relationship with them x
Love Duffy and said with respect, but for a big star as she was then, it’s hard to believe any of it, it sounds like she just cracked up and had a mental breakdown!
Isn't this around the same time that model was "kidnapped" Chloe ayling,only she wasn't,she threw the men she planned it with under the bus and they went to prison but there was way too much suspicious stuff with her story and lo and behold she got the fame she craved afterwards
@@intuitiveeevee I watched, Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story, too. I believe Chloe. If you check records, evidence is in Chloe's favour.
You wouldn't really know how you'd react til you were Really in that sort of danger, all heresay til then.
Chloe Ayling was telling the truth; Duffy was not. The above comment is correct that she had mental issues, and that is why the police haven’t wasted further time on her story.
I agree with you.
I think I remember her.
did she have a song with the lyric "...feel the rain on your skin..."
and something about "this is not my happy ending."
I don't believe this story. but I wouldn't be surprised if SHE believes it.
she was about the age for the onset of severe mental illnesses Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia.
developing one of those terrible illnesses is a REAL horror story!
always tragic.
@@katherine9109 I believe you’re referring to Natasha Bedingdield’s lyrics, but I could be mistaken. In any case it is absolutely possible that Duffy has bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. I met her in passing approximately 10 years ago - too briefly to say that I know her. In that moment, her behaviour was quite inappropriate for that particular setting and situation…to the point it was uncomfortable for the other people in the room. I never forgot the looks on their faces. Schizophrenia is a horrible disease to live with- for both the patient and loved ones. That would be terribly sad. I hadn’t even considered Schizophrenia until I saw your comment- you’re certainly right about the age bracket, too.
Thank you Joshua for shedding some light on what happened to this very talented and beautiful young lady, sometimes wondered what happened to her she was so popular before this horrendous incident. I hope she makes a full recovery.
No fans on the plane wanting autographs or even selfies, imagine the risk of capture the kidnapper was under , not the best thought through kidnap plan. So he’d booked the flights and had miraculously obtained Duffy’s passport details in advance as you can’t just rock up and get on a flight.
She was drugged but she was fine walking through the Airport and finding her pass port and waiting at the Airport.
Private plane?
To meany holes in the story, you are speaking about a well non person, if she had disappeared for more than 1 day police would of been called in you can not kidnap a star like that for 4 or 5 weeks and nothing happened no missing reports it's just unbelievable.
Why take her to another country and risk getting caught at the airport? This is a very strange story.
Nah it’s typical trafficking. I’ll bet they had intended either ransom or kidnapped her for trafficking and didn’t realise she was in the spotlight until she was abroad. So they took her back. I can see how all of this could happen.
@@jennid1573Trafficking is typically for the purpose of prostitution. It makes sense to take someone away to another country because they are isolated from family and familiar surroundings and if a trafficker keeps their passport they can't leave. Taking someone to a different country just to grape them and then bring them back again just makes no sense at all. Why would they do that? Unless it is not actually a crime in that country or if they can't be prosecuted in the UK for a crime committed abroad. But I don't think that would be the case, would it? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he can't be prosecuted here for a grape committed in another country. Could it be that this was the real reason? The whole thing sounds very odd.
because he could. people like this love risk and the love the superiority of fooling everyone and getting away with it. She would not have looked anything like her photos or music clips. He could have obscured her hair and face at the airport and on the plane. This is all part of it for evil monsters that love to mess with others realities. It's the ultimate power trip.
I discovered this hidden talent women from Stone Ocean credit song and absolutely fall in love with her beautiful voice and her albums but after discovering tragedy of her made me so heart broken
No one deserves this !
She’s a massively talented ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this story? The madness of this situation is so unbelievable & tragic 👿
This monster, must be brought to justice? I'm horrified by what some men, do to women?
It sounds like he is a puppet master. I heard stories like that it’s so sad what happens to their victims. I am so glad she found strength and got out of it and trying to live and be happy. Keep going strong Duffy! X
Oh poor girl, i absolutely adored her music when i was a kid!
Airport has cameras ? When she was back in the UK, why didn’t they come visit her ?
I believe by the time she spoke about the incident it was months later - all CCTV footage would have gone by that point sadly
Why has the restaurant never been named? What kind of friends would let a stranger take her from a restaurant without going with her to make sure she got home safely. Especially if she was showing signs of being drugged. London is awash with CCTV cameras inside and outside of restaurants, clubs and other venues. Is she on camera being put into a car? Why haven't any of her friends come forward to say what they witnessed? Why was there no police investigation? How was she rescued? Did she escape to a British consulate in some foreign country? How did she know where it was? Is there a record of her phone calls? Who did she turn to when she returned home? Where is the record of her passport being presented at customs? And why was she so silent for so long? If it's true, I'm guessing the kidnapper was a person of some means to be able to fly here into several different countries and get through customs with a drugged pop star in tow.
you obviously didn't listen to any of the information in this story but you wrote down all these questions you have. Go and find a couple of other sources.
Fuck! This is a really dark story! This isn't just "someone slipped something in my drink and took advantage of me THAT night". No! This is much more sinister and brutal. Just considering the planning and precise knowledge of the "target" that such an act requires.
Got to be more to this story. Its very hard to believe in its current form.
For her to just disappear, no media curiosity is baffling!
Plenty of celebrities drop off the radar with no media interest whatsoever.
Have 3 drinks inthe airport and they wont let you on the plane. Carry a drugged up girl thats completely out of it to the gate and they will get you a pillow for your incapasitated travel companion and help you board? Aye, alright then 🙄
No bro won't let YOU on the plane!🥴🥳🍺🚫❌🤣😂
its a really terrible thing that happened to duffy sexual violence is a really horrible crime the deep impact it has on people is devastating i know i been through this myself you never really get over it as such. my deepest support and love goes to you
This dude risked taking a drugged up pop star on a plane for a holiday and back again. It’s incredible that anyone could believe this
My thoughts too
If there is any truth to this (which I doubt) I think she definitely knows who it was,and it’s someone powerful in the music industry whom she can’t or won’t name for reasons unknown. There’s more to this that she’s not saying for sure but this is the story she’s putting out. The ‘ kidnapper’ had to be someone she was acquainted with.
Pure fiction. As if no one would recognise her and there are security cameras all over airports to identify her assailant...quite apart from an airline ticket, seating plan, ticket purchase information. This is beyond ridiculous.
@@johnxxx5085Maybe it was private plain.
Even Jeffery Epstein victims appeared on flight records, so how there's no trade of her and abductor is crazy
It's important to remember that we don't know what investigations have unearthed, namely the country she was taken to. It is an ongoing investigation and maybe the police and/or Duffy don't want to reveal the information. It also shows that the whole event took place over about a month and just because she is Famous, doesn't mean Duffy has close friends or family. Maybe she even spoke to people whilst drugged in her flat, she may not remember. The fact that someone she knew so her on her balcony, yellow and wrapped in a blanket yet raised no alarm shows the poor woman had no one close enough to care. The fact that this is happening to a lot of non famous women is terrifying. They rely on the disconnect in society, especially in cities like London, to cover up such terrible crimes.
She has a beautiful Voice-I hope she records again......Lots of Love......
Should be easy to identify him, from airport cctv and his passport. Plus her flat would be covered in his DNA and fingerprints
EXACTLY!
Right? Doesn't pass the smell test.
The point is that it's some big music executive. And she doesn't want any problems.
You don't really believe her story do you? Ridiculous.
If this happened its truly horrendous. I just cant help but struggle to believe it. The absolute moment my feet hit terra firma in the uk, his ass wouldve felt my wrath. To be held captive, drugged and raped in a foreign country, believing id be dead and never make it home? Nothing would've stipped me from seizing that moment to free myself. A lot is missing. It woukd be interesting to hear what the police investigation actually uncovered
Whoa sad an traumatic,
I’m glad she finally spoke out about it.
❤ Nicely Done Joshua ❤
My ex worked with her uncle and he said she refused to go on chat shows to promote her albums which affected sakes. Surely she would need a passport and someone would recognise her.
Bent passport and died black hair ect ect
I don’t think I believe her story. Police found zero evidence on the airport . She is not on the cameras at all.Nobody saw her because it never happened.
Thank you for this video. I loved Duffy's music, and had no idea this had happened!
We need to hear from the people that were with her that night she was allegedly drugged and abducted by this "stranger " because how did this person get her home in the incapacitated state she was in whilst she was in their company ?. Not to mention to the airport, abroad to an unknown country then incredibly back to the Uk and to her own flat only to continue the hostage situation in front of neighbours and the risk of being caught by friends and colleagues not to mention her Rugby playing boyfriend at the time ? No wonder she didnt want to involve the Police ,not out of fear but because they know a swiss cheese of a story when they see it and i speak as a fan of Duffy of many years but i remember reading her old Manager washed his hands of her before this even happened because of things she was getting involved in ....my theory is she is covering for the person that did it and knows exactly who they are ,she possibly had a breakdown caused or aggravated by hallucinogenic drugs and may genuinely not know what happened to her during that time or she was a junkie all this time . But the story as she has presented it i just dont believe 😢
You have a very vivid imagination I'll give you that.
@@princess-violetthank you. Exactly
The manager was involved!!!!!
@@Dee1-jb2tp was it Rob Stringer?
Sounds like scopolamine.
Great job on this mini documentary 🎉
Thank you - appreciate the kind comment!
I remember her telling her story so I was just researching to see what came of her reporting it, really leaves me with more questions than answers. I just can't fathom why nothing has been openly investigated. The perpetrator sounds so dangerous. Why is no one looking for him.
I feel so sorry for her and her loved ones who must have been heartbrokenthat she could go through that without anyone realising. I hope tome brings healing for all involved.
If it was an abusive ex and she wont press charges that could explain it. Women in DV situations usually go thru 40 serious incidents before even reporting it.
There's only one answer to that- it didn't happen. She lives in London which has so many CCTV cameras, something would have been captured somewhere. And the police can still charge a person even if she didn't want to because it's in the public interest to, which this perpetrator surely would fall into the category being such a threat to women.
I believed when say told her story that she had been held and raped by some one she may have known. This story however is full of holes. I think something horrible did happen, but that it was either a complete mental breakdown or drugs that key to a psychotic break. Either way she was a great artist and I wish her well for the future❤
My heart is breaking for her but Duffy is strong women thank you for sharing your story it really help people that have experience the same thank you for giving us voice ❤️ xx.
We need to bring awareness to that. Spiked drinks in public places, omg, what a scary world….💔💔💔
People have known about that for years. What are you talking about "awareness?"
If these are true events and this did indeed happen to her, it's horrendous to even contemplate it. But there is far too much of this story that makes very little sense at all. He spikes her at the restaurant, and yet she's able to return home to her flat "incapacitated" without those she was with that night realizing she was incapacitated? How did he get access to her flat once she was inside - he broke in? He then takes her to an airport where he has, we assume, that night made reservations, while she is so incapacitated she is unable to comprehend what's happening or to alert others, and yet she is allowed to board the flight in that state in the sight of airport officials, stewards, security? And then throughout the flight to another country, arriving at a foreign airport, going through passport control and customs, all while apparently still far too incapacitated to again alert somebody or even know what country she's in, nobody at that airport notices the state she's in, and that she's, and again we must assume, being forcibly led somewhere? We can understand her being too frightened to alert people while he had her locked in a hotel room, but again when after returning her to a foreign airport with security and help all around her should she simply scream "Help!", this globally recognizable celebrity doesn't alert anybody to her plight? And he then inexplicably flies her back to the UK, and even more insanely, to her own flat where her alleged kidnapper now risks being caught any moment by friends, colleagues, family etc? And for a month? And after finally escaping "into the night" following a month-long ordeal of rape and imprisonment, she then returns to the flat where her kidnapper is, and the next thing she remembers is sitting on her balcony? And she decides at that point to again not alert the authorities, or family, or friends? I'm sorry, but as I said if this did indeed happen to her, it's truly horrendous, but it sounds much more plausible that she suffered some form of psychological collapse/breakdown, drug-induced psychosis, or for some reason has fabricated the entire story. Where's the CCTV footage from the airport/airports? If he had her phone and accompanied her at all times, her movements could easily be traced from her phone, yes? Where is the police investigation? No. Sorry, with all due respect to anybody who has been been through a terrifying ordeal such as this, none of her story makes sense. Fascinating certainly, and horrible if it were true, but nothing adds up here.
I agree there are many parts of this story that don’t seem to add up, but why would she make it up?? She has no reason. It’s tragic
Either way❤
@@SuperSized16 Yeah that's true. If it really happened, it's absolutely tragic. And if it didn't and she has made this up for some reason that nobody can understand, it shows that she's seriously mentally ill which is just as tragic really. As to why would she make it up, why do people who don't have cancer pretend to family and friends they do? Why do people who have not been raped say they have been? Happens all the time. Who knows, right?
exactly the way i think you are very clever
There's a current case of a Frenchwoman who was heavily drugged and assaulted two hundred times by seventy two males and she did not have any memory of it. The police showed her the videos of abuse after her husband of many years was caught upskirting. She thought she was going slowly mad, but doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her sanity. Other weird pointers like waking up with an unexpected haircut and no memory of it and other medical problems associated with the assaults occurred and made her think she was going mad.
As for Duffy, her friends may also have been stoned not to have noticed her state. Or someone was complicit in it and received some payment for it. Her house or apartment locks may not have been security grade and therefore easy to break into, and the plane may have been a small private charter plane departing from a private airfield. Whoever did it had the know how and possibly financial resources. Maybe some rich middle eastern person or a slave trafficker.
There are books written on the intimidation of women who have been lured into relationships with sex traffickers. One particular case was of a young English girl, who wrote about her experiences while coerced and trafficked, and she wrote under another name. Her trafficker was a known criminal and the police assured her that he was out of the country, while he was actually in England stalking her for retribution for having escaped him. It was written by Sophie Hayes. Well worth reading.
In Duffy's case if he resides elsewhere, it will be very unlikely he will be caught.
we miss you,we love you,yes be free and repair your beautiful soul, be strong,
So she went for a meal with her friends, somehow wasn't affected by the drugs until after she got home when a random stranger managed to break into her flat and abducted her and transported her not only to an airport without anyone or any cctv seeing this but also went through the security and passport checks whilst unconscious.
Then none of her friends or family noticed her missing during this abduction nor reported her absence to police?
And then it happened again?
Sorry it sounds completely unbelievable.
I was thinking about her only a few days ago, then this video appears in my feed telling me what happened. Poor woman, what an horrendous experience to be forced to live through. The scary thing is that the total coward that did this is still at large and could so easily repeat what he did with countless other women. Maybe he already has, who knows?
It makes it so angry !! How dare someone do this to another person and nobody even blinked an eye, Someone must have noticed her at the airport or on the flights. I'm so so sorry this happened to you, sounds like you were let let down by everyone. Sending you much love💜💜
I have never heard this. I loved ❤Duffy’s music. I recall her coming on scene, such a unique retro look and sound. I thought of her and Adele coming out about same time and Adele’s career took off (for understandable reasons) but I always wondered about Duffy. This story is horrific. I think it’s difficult for many of us to understand how certain drugs work and how people can be fully out of it but walk, somehow not draw attention (particularly if they simply seem drunk). It does seem there would be follow up contact with her birthday friends. This is tragic. Thanks for presenting the story with respect.
I pray she can really move on and find happiness! Her music is amazing and beautiful. The world is a better place for her and I truly hope she can sing again. Maybe it can help her heal some! All my love Duffy
She is a massive talent 💙
This story does not make sense.
Load of rubbish how can she remember yet she said she was out cold no airline would have left her on a plane either
My best friend and I wrote a song for her to consider back in 2011... this was after the event but before she disappeared from the industry. We tried approaching her management but were stonewalled.
Took a few years for us to suss out why....
Because you wrote a s__t song?
Sorry way to many holes in that story way to random. I don't mean to be cruel but it sounds like drugs talk. was kidnapped by a faceless stranger put on a random plane to a nameless country all the while being famous. Then brought back to your own country . Im afraid it makes no sense at all . To many people would of noticed her record company would be very interested where it's employee is
But what would she have to gain by making this up? I do think the story sounds wild but it’s not impossible either. With access to her phone he could have delayed people’s suspicions and maybe when she was out of it from being spiked he could have changed her clothing to make her blend in with a hat covering her hair or something. I know, it all sounds bizarre and there are many questions but it’s definitely possible something like this could have happened. I mean, she had fame, success and attention all round, so it doesn’t make sense to me that she would lie about this. I definitely think we’re not getting the full story but I would take what she said seriously. Imagine having that happen to you, and then the trauma of no one believing you. I’d love to see her give a personal interview, but something definitely went very wrong for her. I hope she’s ok. 🕊️
@talk2birds128 she had a mental breakdown from drug use . The PEOPLE ARE ARFTER ME is very common
@@martinmunnelly5532 she didn’t look like she was on drugs at that time, she was too healthy looking so I’m not sure where you got that from.
@talk2birds128 that's a myth that all addicts look awful. Many function for years and look perfectly normal as long as they are drunk, stoned,or high. But eventually the mind will snap
WHILST IN THE AIRPORT LEAVING UK, SURELY SHE COULD HAVE SPOKEN TO SOMEONE THERE...SHE COULD WALK...SHE WASNT CARRIED.... SO WHY DIDNT SHE?
Right from the restaurant onwards the whole story sounds like baloney to me . If she had been spiked surely her friends would of taken care of her overnight to make sure she was ok . . . This is Fantasy Island ! . . . 😊
And how would the kidnapper know where her flat was in order to get her when she was unconscious? Unless it was her inner circle and, if so, she would know exactly who it was.
The story is kind of unbelievable, to be honest. Why risk taking her to an airport twice to do something heinous, when he was doing those things at her flat, too?
You are right. It is entirely made up.
Considering what happened to her after the song came out, "Mercy" is much darker to listen to now.
I worked in Barnes in London as a personal trainer where Duffy lived so I saw her often .I had heard she had been kidnapped and was shocked.Locally people knew about it at the time.
She was fantastic I have offen thought about what happened to her she truly was brilliant I was such a big fan
So one of the most popular artist at the time. Traveled by plane without someone recognise her? all the security cameras on the airport?. That's very unlikely, She probably just thought she was on a plane because all the drugs. Where were her family and friends???!!!!
Read her wiki page
Yes, Poor Duffy, She could gone though a Hallucination dream Scope and actually never left the country. On the Alleged rape and drugs inflicted, Her Statement is that she never went to seek law inforcment hospital treatment..
This is speculation, guess work, assumption and presumption. And this fella seems to forget one important fact. Duffy was an internationally known, famous pop star. Somebody would have recognized her as she passed through airports. Not least the police who guard them. If they had seen her drugged out of her mind being manhandled through airport lounges, I'm sure one would have said something.
Sometimes with those drugs u can actually act somewhat coherent, walk and talk ok and still not know or remember what happened the next day.
How the hell did a world famous singer get taken on a plane in a semi unconscious state and no one seemed to raise the alarm? If an ordinary semi unconscious woman was taken on a plane today, I hope to God people would raise the alarm.
And demanding she walk behind him when she was in the foreign country? I wonder what culture this is a common practice?
And how the hell has this rapist got away with it? And he's still out there ?
All seems a little far fetched to me
Don't believe a word of it..load of unbelievable rubbish
😂 AGREED!!!
Definitely
I love duffys voice,its a great shame what happened to her.I have heard what happened before.
I remember something about this on the local BBC Welsh news and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Duffy comes from Bangor not too far away from where I'm from too and I always wondered why she vanished from the face of the Earth. Poor girl what a horrible thing to have to go through. Something doesn't seem quite right though...
Where was the media? This sounds so planned its terrifying.
I don't believe a single word of this yarn don't forget her career had nosedived after her initial success
Sadly, the music industry is a dark place. A band that was famous and talented the lead singer had his drink spiked. He was in ICU and needed a liver transplant and was placed on the transplant list. After a week he started to recover. But the band never gained their former fame. There are weird people who if you don’t do what they want …you’ll pay. I believe this person could be linked to the music industry. I hope Duffy is well and enjoying her life. God bless her x
Tragic - unbelievable that he was
Never caught
Agreed
So her friends supposedly let her go, he had enough money to buy a plane ticket for her…. I don’t buy it. Who are the “friends”?
Agree none of it makes sense
Totally agree , it was all fabricated
Duffy - pretty famous, gets kidnapped , disappears for weeks and no one reported her missing? Huh?
Poor Duffy I am so sorry please come back soon x
Absolute nonsense. She's gone on a binge and regretted it later.
Honestly it worries me seeing quite so many comments questioning her experience and implying a fabrication on her part. Obviously we are all entitled to opinions, but with something like this…I do think default stance really should be believing her. Of course questions can be asked about specifics, but it’s a dangerous game to immediately assume she is lying. There is enough evidence of men abusing women from the shadows and even in the open pretty damn consistently - for murder, power, sexual gratification etc - Wayne Cozens and so on) to provide ample evidence of awful shit happening. Brazen or secretive. And those are just the ones who are caught and reported…it’s horrific.
She had a gorgeous voice, I wondered where she had gone to.
thanks Duffy for speaking out i to was raped at the age of 19 at knife point by family friend i really feel for you women children men need to speak out and support
So damm sad, the poor girl will unfortunately never feel safe again, all the best to you Duffy, we all admire your courage. Lots of love for the future.
🙏💙
I don't believe a word of it
Amazing video on such a tragic incident
Thank you 🙏 it’s an awful story
Amy Winehouse died on the same day. Wild!
No that was July 23rd.
@@suzannejane1035 you’re right, I always mix it up.
This is awful.
What a horrible tragedy.
Bless her, and anyone who suffered like this.
There would have been cctv at the airport?
Biggest load of bollocks iv ever heard
😂😂😂
@@heatherblake4424 hey you
Only answer to police incompetence is "political", so... A "prince"? An illegal refugee? Or some other protected moron? Let's hope she is well, safe and ready to fight back. This story is about brutal injustice against a lovely person with no malice in her heart.
Surely she had an entourage? Where was the friends she went out with? This is shocking God bless her.
I meant to add, excellent report.
I’ve never heard a story like this out of the country on a plane 🤸🏾🤷🏽♀️
That is absolutely horrific!!
What a unique voice, wondered were lass gone, 🤔
Duffy don’t let that creep keep you from your gift to the world!
Such a tragic story, and god bless and keep her safe and protected always.
Where ever she is lets hope she's well happy and has a good man taking carenof her.
People doubting her story is typical for this day and age; and a good explanation for why she didn't come forward with it right away. If people only knew what vile things are happening to women, children (and men) on a daily basis, right before our eyes without us realizing, they'd believe her. People are being trafficked and abused all the time. We shouldn't let our social-media infested brains judge something that happens to too many people, with too few - or zero - consequences for the perpetrator. I wish her all the best and that her life, from now on, is led by healing. She has an amazing talent. Not just for music, but for survival. 💗
Well said 💙
I’ve heard this story before, but it was someone else. They got kidnapped the same way.
Horrible ordeal but i think there's more to it. Perhaps an inside job? The music is stacked with sickos and deviants, its scary.
